2. Important Notes

• Configuration Manager 7 has excluded support for Bosch Video Client and BVIP Lite Suite.
Installing it over an existing installation of a previous version will encrypt the database with
strong encryption and thus render it unusable for the older software.

• Configuration Manager 7.0 and higher are pure 64 bit applications and require a 64 bit
Windows operating system.

• Security And Safety Things (S&ST) has changed their name into azena.
Though they kept their former URLs, or put forwarding in place, in future it may happen that
only the new domains may be supported, which would cause breaking connectivity.
We will keep track and support the new URLs when accessible. Once the links are broken, it
requires to have Configuration Manager updated.

5. Restrictions; Known Issues


• On a MIC or AUTODOME with FW < 7.70 and VCA configured, using CM 7.20 will show all
configured lines, fields and routes at a wrong position. Saving then will break the VCA
configuration. Use a recent version of CM instead.
• FLEXIDOME IP starlight 5000i (IR) cameras incorrectly show up as Device Type FLEXIDOME
IP 4000i (IR)
• FTP address must be IP address only, URL is not supported.
• After changing the IP address of a device, the settings page might not be updated
automatically. Manual refresh might be required.
• Upload of a configuration file might be incomplete if it includes recording settings.
It is recommended to check the settings manually.
• Special characters like ‘&<:>@’ are not allowed for names and passwords. If entered into
devices using the Web GUI the Configuration Manager will not be able to access the devices.
• Saving empty password may cause I/O error message without effect for the setting.
• Database path must be re-written if previous installation did not use default path.
• 'Device info' dialog for Divar 700 only shows the general information tab and information that
can be retrieved through the VideoSDK interfaces.
• No IPv6 & DNS check for VRM databases.
• For cameras with Intelligent Tracking function, “Click on object” is not supported by
Configuration Manager.
• If no IPv6 network is available, the initial IP address configuration of DLA E-Series must be
done by setting the PC’s IP address in the range of the storage’s default IP address
192.168.128.101 for discovery. Once set to a valid IP range, the Configuration Manager PC
can be used with its standard IP address.
• Configuration Manager may run into an access violation when an ONVIF camera with pan and
tilt, but no zoom function is added to Video Streaming Gateway, e.g. like Axis M3007.
• For legacy devices, e. g. VideoJet 8008 or VideoJet 10, all tabs and buttons regarding motion
detection are deactivated, thus motion detection cannot be configured.
• FTP accounts’ passwords are not stored during Backup & Restore settings.
• User interface for the DIVAR AN 3000/5000 FW upgrade feature is only available in English.
• If the DIVAR AN 3000/5000 FW upgrade transfer is interrupted by a power or network failure
the remote system might get in a state that it can’t be upgraded again through Configuration
Manager.
In this case, the upgrade must be done manually through the WEB UI or locally on the device.
• A FW upload of a DIVAR AN 3000 or DIVAR AN 5000 can only be cancelled during the
transfer phase. Once the file has been transferred to the device and the upgrade process has
been started this cannot be cancelled anymore.
• For dual recording, Configuration Manager does not allow to assign the identical LUN to both
recording entries.

• VCA tabs, e. g. Motion Detection may not be refreshed after firmware upgrade or downgrade.
Manual refresh might be necessary.
• Device network settings configuration for VJD-7000 and VJD-8000 is not functional in the
context menu of the device tree (right-click). The network configuration page shall be used
instead.
• VRM-based ANR mode is no more supported.
• Only one LUN lock can be overwritten per device at a time. Acquiring of lock is done only
when storage target is needed for recording.
• Upload of an invalid certificate will cause I/O errors displayed on page.
• With cameras running firmware 6.4x and ‘Silent VCA’ mode, a wrong VCA calibration tab may
be displayed on ‘event triggered’ or ‘scheduled’ modes. A VCA profile must be selected first.
• Once an authenticated is established, the user can still communicate with a device although
the smart token might have been removed. To avoid unauthorised access, Configuration
Manger should not be left accessible when the smart token with the client certificate is
removed.
• With CPP7.3 AUTODOME and MIC cameras, an I/O error might be displayed on the ‘Logs’
tab. The device’s web page can be used instead to access the logs and configure the syslog
functionality.
• Due to security concerns, basic authentication is no more supported. As a result, firmware
cannot be uploaded to a password-protected VJD-7000 running FW 54.8.x or older. An older
version of Configuration Manager can be used instead, or the password removed temporarily.
• With certificate-based authentication, each Windows user should only use one Smart Card or
user token for the same CA.
• If a storage array is reconfigured or cleared manually (e. g. by using console or SanTricity
instead of Bosch tools), all LUNs of all targets of the storage array must be deleted from the
VRM and then re-added again to update all necessary information.
• Custom table views do not support adding of dynamic content like e. g. user management or
certificates.
• Configuration upload and download is not supported for cameras of the Remote Portal.
• Repository download that includes offline devices or devices not supporting a configuration file
download will show an error which can be ignored. All parameters handled by Configuration
Manager will be stored in repository.
• In rare cases only a partial VRM device tree is shown. Restart the Configuration Manager for a
full display.
• Privacy masks and other orientation-related parameters must be checked and eventually re-
assigned after rotating a camera.
• Uploading or exchanging certificates requires the device to be rebooted if running firmware
below version 7.x.
• Stamping logo may sometimes lose transparency if converted by Configuration Manager. In
this case, prepare logo with correct size and color with other tools to avoid conversion.

• Using “export from memory” with pre-alarm recording exceeding the available memory will
cause continuous recording on the account storage. Checking the memory requirement of the
pre-alarm ring is advised to avoid unexpected memory consumption.
• New calibration module is not fully functional for calibrating moving cameras. It is
recommended to use Configuration Manager 7.30 for dome calibration.
• Camera Calibration module does not work on Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB.
• For single line devices the field ‘device name’ is not shown but camera name is used for both.
• TLS 1.3 is not yet supported by Configuration Manager, though it allows this setting on CPP14
cameras running FW 8.30 or higher. Once minimum TLS version is set to 1.3, Configuration
Manager will be locked out.
• Windows fonts may appear invalid or missing after changing the screen scale factor.
In such a case, please refer to the MS knowledge base at
https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/4038303.
• For a FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i in on-board dewarping mode, with line 2 set to quad-
view, it is not possible to select another than the first quadrant for PTZ control. As a work-
around use the web page of the camera to configure the dewarped quad-view.
• For FLEXIDOME multi 7000i, the azimuth value for a camera module is located under
‘coordinate system’, contrary to its location in the camera’s web interface.
• Firmware upload to HD decoder requires HTTPS due to basic authentication being
deprecated on unencrypted connections.
• Devices appear locked in Remote Portal if their user and live passwords are not configured.

Note:
If multiple Configuration Managers are used in the network, maintaining the same or an
overlapping set of devices simultaneously, unpredictable effects might occur when writing to
the devices.

Note:
Due to the change to .NET 4.7.2 DiBos devices cannot be found by network scan if .NET 3.5
is not installed.
If required install .NET 3.5 in addition to the Configuration Manager installation package.

New Features with 6.00.0122

• New Table View


o Table view is now embedded in Configuration Manager user interface as an
alternative view to the tab view interface. It does not open a separate window
anymore but switches views between the two alternatives.
o Device parameters are listed in an “Excel”-like view and are shown for all cameras
that had been selected in this view.
o Device multi-select is also possible in this view, providing a detailed overview of actual
settings and allowing changes to parameters in a fast and comfortable way.
o Custom table views provide means to focus on important and relevant settings, and
together with extended import and export functions make configuration archiving and
restoration an easy task.
o Architectural changes help retrieving device parameters up to hundred times faster,
supporting the new table view to present multiple devices’ parameters quickly and
smoothly.
